The anti-vibration device prevents most resonance from intruding into the sound equipment, the elastic stress frame and the laminate plate for supporting the sound equipment, and the sound equipment can work stably without being influenced by sound waves and resonance, so as to achieve its own due performance, naturally reducing the distortion rate of outputted sound.

RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a Continuation application of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/835,051 filed Dec. 7, 2017, which itself claims priority to Chinese App. No. 201611127617.5 filed Dec. 8, 2016, the disclosures and teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an anti-vibration device for sound equipment and a sound equipment rack with an anti-vibration device, and in particular, to an anti-vibration device which is used for reducing the consonance and resonance of sound equipment and of a laminate plate supporting the sound equipment and which has an elastic stress frame, and a sound equipment rack with an anti-vibration device.

BACKGROUND

The case of sound equipment and the laminate plate supporting the sound equipment have similar characters with a musical instrument room, and when the sound equipment and the laminate plate supporting the sound equipment are played, struck or subjected to sound waves, vibrations, etc., they generate different levels of consonance and resonance under different conditions. Under the influence of the consonance and resonance, the sound equipment and the laminate plate supporting the sound equipment will no longer maintain their original static, quiet and stable normal working state, and will generate consonance and resonance, so that the sound equipment will output a distorted sound.

Conventionally, feet and pads for supporting the sound equipment are made of a hard material, and when they are used to support the sound equipment, since the contact area between the foundations and pads and the sound equipment is large, they cannot prevent the consonance and resonance from influencing the sound equipment. When vibration comes, the sound equipment will generate resonance and consonance and output a sound distorted greatly.

SUMMARY

The present invention provides for an anti-vibration device which is used for reducing consonance and resonance and has an elastic stress frame, and a sound equipment rack with an anti-vibration device. By applying the elastic stress frame to the case of a sound equipment and/or the laminate plate supporting the sound equipment in advance, which is similar to applying a suitable stress at the center of the cavity, the stable internal stress thereof is utilized to allow the case of the sound equipment and/or the laminate plate supporting the sound equipment to maintain their original position and state as much as possible, so that they cannot generate consonance and resonance, reducing the degree of distortion of the sound equipment.

The elastic stress frame produces a long-term stable internal stress in the following two ways. The first one is that the sound equipment is applied to the elastic stress frame, and produces, with its own weight, downward pressure on the elastic stress frame, so that the elastic stress frame is deformed and produces a long-term stable internal stress. The second one is that the elastic stress frame is mechanically locked, by means of screw fastening, onto the outside of the sound equipment to apply threaded fastening pressure on the sound equipment, so that the elastic stress frame is deformed and produces a long-term stable internal stress.

This results in high requirements for the material that makes the elastic stress frame. Firstly, the material used to make the elastic stress frame should have sufficient strength to support the weight of the sound equipment itself. Secondly, the material used to make the elastic stress frame should have proper elasticity to produce certain elastic deformation when applied to the sound equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments disclosed herein and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. Aspects of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of an anti-vibration device for sound equipment. In FIG. 1, an anti-vibration device for sound equipment comprises an elastic stress frame 10A having a stress deformation portion 11 and three support portions 13 that protrude toward one side with respect to the stress deformation portion 11. In this embodiment, the elastic stress frame 10A has a solid triangular shape with support portions 13 in contact with the support surface at the radial outer end portions of each corner thereof, and the connection portions between the support portions form the stress deformation portion 11. The elastic stress frame 10A is provided between a foot 12 of the sound equipment and the support surface for supporting the sound equipment below. The weight of the sound equipment itself is pressed against the stress deformation portion 11 of the elastic stress frame 10A via the sound equipment foot 12, such that the stress deformation portion 11 is elastically deformed and produces a long-term stable internal stress. When the three support portions 13 come into contact with the support surface, the stress deformation portion 11 as a whole is suspended. In addition, the contact surface between the support portions 13 and the support surface is a spherical surface, and the contacts thereof are point contacts. The three point contacts between the three support portions 13 and the support surface enable the elastic stress frame 10A to be more stabilized. The material for manufacturing the elastic stress frame 10A has sufficient strength to meet the requirements of supporting the weight of the sound equipment itself and has appropriate elasticity so that when the sound equipment is applied to the elastic stress frame 10A, the stress deformation portion 11 of the elastic stress frame 10A will be elastically deformed to a certain degree. The material for manufacturing the elastic stress frame 10A is may be acrylic (also known as acrylic or plexiglass) and its chemical composition is polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Of course, other materials with similar properties, such as one selected from polyacrylic acid, polyacrylate, polycarbonate, polystyrene, PE, PP, PET, PBT and ABS, can also be used.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a variant of the shape of the first embodiment. In FIG. 2, the elastic stress frame 10B is a Y-shaped star shape having three strip-shaped structures that intersect at the center, equidistantly distributed along a circumferential direction and extend outwardly, support portions 13 protruding toward one side being formed on the radial outer end portions distant from the central point of intersection, the connecting strip-shaped structures between the support portions 13 forming a stress deformation portion 11. Compared with the solid triangular shape, the elastic stress frame 10B in the Y-shaped star shape has a lighter weight, has the advantages of material saving and lower manufacturing cost, and is suitable for supporting sound equipment having a lighter weight.

FIGS. 3A-J are top views of various variants of the shape of the first embodiment. In FIG. 3, the elastic stress frame comprises a hollow triangular shape 14, the three sides of the hollow triangle form the stress deformation portion 11 of the elastic stress frame, and the triangular apexes at the connection of the three sides, i.e. the radial outer end portions of the hollow triangle form the support portions 13 protruding toward one side. This shape is suitable for forming a plane by three sides to support the sound equipment, and this support means enable the sound equipment to be more stabilized. In FIG. 3, there is further included a Y-shaped star shape 15 with a central reinforcing structure. This structure is based on the Y-shaped star shape, with reinforcing ribs being provided on the position between two adjacent outwardly extending strip-shaped structures close to the central interaction, and support portions 13 protruding toward one side being formed at radial outer end portions distal away from the central interaction, the connecting strip-shaped structures between the support portions and the reinforcing ribs thereof forming a stress deformation portion 11. By providing reinforcing ribs at central positions of the Y-shaped star shape, the disadvantage of insufficient strength caused by the thinner strip-shaped structure of the Y-shaped star shape is overcome, which is suitable for supporting sound equipment having a moderate weight.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a second structural variant of the first embodiment. In FIG. 4, the elastic stress frame 10C has a linear strip shape. The elastic stress frame 10C comprises a stress deformation portion 11 and two support portions 13. The two support portions 13 protrude toward one side with respect to the stress deformation portion 11. In this embodiment, the support portions 13 are located at both ends of the linear strip shape constituting the elastic stress frame 10C for contact with the support surface, and the linear strip between two support portions 13 is the stress deformation portion 11. When the support portions 13 are in contact with the support surface, the stress deformation portion 11 as a whole is suspended. In addition, the support portions 13 have, at a lower end thereof, contact lines for support, and the contact lines are inclined or perpendicular with respect to the extending direction of the linear strip shape of the elastic stress frame 10C. The line contact between the two support portions 13 and the support surface enables the elastic stress frame 10 to be more stabilized.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are bottom and top perspective views of a third structural variant of the first embodiment, respectively. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the elastic stress frame 10D has a body rod portion which is the stress deformation portion 11 having support portions 13 that come into contact with the sound equipment at both ends. The support portion 13 has an inwardly extending hook portion 16. A holding space for holding the sound equipment is defined between the stress deformation portion 11 of the elastic stress frame 10D and the inwardly extending hook portions 16 of the support portions 13, and the sound equipment is generally arranged in the holding space. In use, the elastic stress frame 10D is sleeved around the sound equipment, and the elastic stress frame 10D is fastened around the sound equipment by tightening a bolt (not shown) provided at a middle position of the stress deformation portion 11, thereby applying tightening pressure onto the sound equipment in the circumferential direction, so that the stress deformation portion 11 is deformed, resulting in a long-term and stable internal stress. In addition, a protrusion portion 17 extending toward the stress deformation portion 11 may also be provided on the hook portion 16. This arrangement may effectively reduce the contact area between the elastic stress frame 10D and the sound equipment at the support portions 13, thereby further enhancing the effects of vibration prevention and consonance and resonance reduction.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a fourth structural variant of the first embodiment. In FIG. 7, the elastic stress frame 10E has a four-legged bridge shape, and the elastic stress frame 10 of the four-legged bridge shape has a stress deformation portion 11 and four support portions 13. The support portions 13 protrude toward one side with respect to the stress deformation portion 11. The four support portions 13 are located on the four feet of the four-legged bridge shape, that is, located at the radial outer end portions of the elastic stress frame 10E of the four-legged bridge shape. The bridge shape between the four support portions 13 forms the stress deformation portion 11. Normally, a four-legged bridge-shaped elastic stress frame 10E is provided at a lower portion of the sound equipment for supporting the sound equipment from below. When the support portions 13 come in contact with the support surface, the stress deformation portion 11 as a whole is suspended, and the weight of the sound equipment itself is pressed against the stress deformation portion 11 so that the stress deformation portion 11 is deformed and produces a long-term stable internal stress. In addition, a protrusion portion 19 may be provided on the stress deformation portion 11, and the extending direction of the protrusion portion 19 on the stress deformation portion 11 is with respect to the extending direction of the support portions 13. This arrangement may effectively reduce the contact area between the elastic stress frame 10E and the sound equipment on the stress deformable portion 11, thereby further enhancing the effects of vibration prevention and consonance and resonance reduction.

The support portions 23 of the first elastic stress frame 20A have, at lower ends thereof, contact lines (not shown in the Figures) for supporting the sound equipment 40, and the contact lines are inclined or perpendicular with respect to the extending direction of the linear strip shape of the first elastic stress frame 20A. The two contact lines between the portions 23 and the sound equipment 40 enable the first elastic stress frame 20A to be more stabilized. In FIG. 8, the second elastic stress frame 30A is an elastic stress frame provided around the sound equipment. The elastic stress frame has two support portions 33 at both ends. A stress deformation portion 31 is formed between two support portions 33. The two support portions 33 each have, on the end portion thereof, an inwardly extending hook portion 36 (only one is shown), and the first elastic stress frame 20 is connected to the second elastic stress frame 30A by connecting the stress deformation portion 21 to the stress deformation portion 31 of the second elastic stress frame 30A. The extending direction of the linear strip shape of the first elastic stress frame 20 forms a certain angle, for example, a right angle, with the extending direction of the rod portion of the second elastic stress frame 30A. In this embodiment, the stress deformation portion 21 of the first elastic stress frame 20A is located on the side where the support portions 33 of the second elastic stress frame 30A are located, and the extending direction of the support portions 23 of the first elastic stress frame 20A coincides with that of the support portions 33 of the second elastic stress frame 30A. A holding space for holding the sound equipment 40 is defined between the support portions 23 of the first elastic stress frame 20A and the inwardly extending hook portions 36 on the ends of the support portions 33 of the second elastic stress frame 30A. In use, by tightening connecting bolt to combine and fasten the first elastic stress frame 20A and the second elastic stress frame 30A against the periphery of the sound equipment so as to apply fastening pressure onto the sound equipment from different directions, the stress deformation portion 21 of the first elastic stress frame 20A and the stress deformation portion 31 of the second elastic stress frame 30A are deformed to produce a long-term stable internal stress. Here, the first elastic stress frame 20A and the second elastic stress frame 30A may use the same kind of material, and may also use different kinds of materials. The materials of the first elastic stress frame 20A and the second elastic stress frame 30A may be acrylic (also referred to as plexiglass), the chemical composition of which is polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Of course, other materials with similar properties, such as one or a combination of at least two selected from polyacrylic acid, polyacrylate, polycarbonate, polystyrene, PE, PP, PET, PBT and ABS, can also be used.

FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 are perspective views of a sound equipment rack with the anti-vibration device, respectively. In FIGS. 13 and 14, the sound equipment rack has a rack body 50 on which the anti-vibration device as described above is provided. The rock body 50 comprises a first upright column 51, a second upright column 52, a third upright column 53 and a fourth upright column 54. The sound equipment rack comprises three anti-vibration devices arranged in a triangle. The first and second anti-vibration devices are anti-vibration devices comprising the elastic stress frames 10F and 10G described in the first embodiment of the present invention, and are supported by the first upright column 51 and the second upright column 52 via cantilever beams respectively. The third anti-vibration device is the anti-vibration device having the combined structure of a plurality of elastic stress frames 20F and 30F of the second embodiment of the present invention as described hereinabove. The two support portions 33 of the second elastic stress frame 30F of the third anti-vibration device are supported by the third upright column 53 and the fourth upright column 54 in a cantilevered manner. The first elastic stress frame 20F of the third anti-vibration device is provided on the middle upper side of the stress deformation portion 31 of the second elastic stress frame 30F. The stress deformation portions of the elastic stress frames of the first and second anti-vibration devices 10F and 10G and the stress deformation portion of the first elastic stress frame 20F of the third anti-vibration device collectively form a support surface for supporting the sound equipment. By adjusting the height positions of the three anti-vibration devices, the three elastic stress frames 10F, 10G and 20F for supporting the sound equipment are in the same height plane. In this embodiment, the three elastic stress frames 10F, 10G and 20F all have a four-legged bridge shape. Of course, the above-mentioned other shapes may also be adopted, for example, a linear strip shape, a Y-shaped star shape or a hollow triangular shape. Here, the three anti-vibration devices may use the same kind of material, and may also use different kinds of materials. The materials of the anti-vibration devices may be acrylic (also referred to as plexiglass), the chemical composition of which is polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Of course, other materials with similar properties, such as one or a combination of at least two selected from polyacrylic acid, polyacrylate, polycarbonate, polystyrene, PE, PP, PET, PBT and ABS, can also be used.

As there are various kinds of sound equipment and their shape, size and weight characteristics are not exactly the same, the anti-vibration device will be designed and manufactured in different forms so as to match each other, with respect to sound equipment having different shapes, sizes and weights during the design and manufacturing of the anti-vibration device for the sound equipment, to meet the usage requirements of different types of sound equipment, and finally achieve the ideal effects of consonance and resonance reduction and distortion reduction.

In addition, not only the anti-vibration device for sound equipment can be provided outside the sound equipment, but also enough space can be reserved therein in the design and manufacturing of the sound equipment and a laminate plate for supporting the sound equipment. The anti-vibration device can be provided inside the sound equipment and the laminate plate for supporting the sound equipment, so that the sound equipment and the laminate plate for supporting the sound equipment appear more beautiful and are more convenient to use.
